After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Heat 120-97. Pacers torched the Heat on the offensive end. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
